Question 1

Many other databases claim to be built for AI, what makes ekoDB different?

Accepted Answer

Unlike most other databases, ekoDB runs AI functionality native to the database runtime. ekoDB has native RAG support and a built-in "chat with your database" experience. ekoDB dramatically reduces the complexity of AI integration by eliminating the need for a second vector database and custom RAG implementation. ekoDB supports OpenAI, Claude, and Perplexity out of the box, and developers can easily connect their own API keys. For demanding AI-integrated applications, ekoDB provides seamless integration and unmatched performance.

Question 2

Is ekoDB easy to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes! ekoDB is a fully managed cloud database - sign up, create a database, and start building in under five minutes. No infrastructure to provision, no extensions to install, no separate services to orchestrate. Client libraries are available for TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go, and Kotlin with intuitive, consistent APIs across all languages. Real-time subscriptions, full-text search, vector search, key-value storage, and document queries all work out of the box with zero extra setup. The built-in dashboard gives you instant visibility into your data, and the comprehensive documentation includes a quick-start guide to get you productive fast.

Question 3

But can ekoDB scale?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. ekoDB is engineered for performance at every level. You can tune durability vs speed globally or on a per-operation basis, so you're always in control of the trade-off that matters for your use case. Intelligent caching keeps hot data instantly accessible, and multiple storage modes let you optimize for your workload - whether that's low-latency reads or high-volume writes. Ripple, ekoDB's cross-database sync engine, lets you replicate data across PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis in real time - scaling reads, integrating with existing infrastructure, or migrating incrementally without downtime.

Question 4

Is ekoDB secure?

Accepted Answer

ekoDB fully encrypts your data at rest and in transit and is secure with a variety of industry-grade security features. Every record ID is encrypted by default, and per-operation encryption lets you protect sensitive fields individually. Built-in authentication handles tokens and API keys out of the box - no third-party auth service required. Rate limiting protects against abuse, and durable write-ahead logging ensures your data is safe even through unexpected crashes. You are empowered to maintain strict data access controls with collection and field-level permissions. ekoDB is designed to meet the security requirements of even the most sensitive production applications!
